Latisha,

That is some beautiful work for sure. On the West Coast there is a series of shows over the winter Starting with the Grand National Roadster show in LA then working it's way up the Coast. Of those 4 shows the Sacramento Autorama is the premier Customs show. Here is alink to the organizers:

By contacting them you may be able to get in touch with the top custom builders.

Another great event is Hot August Nights in Reno the first week in August. They limit the show to 5000 cars and the waiting list is long. All the top folks out West are there even if they don't bring a car. For details go to:

Hope that helps, please hang around and keep showing off your stuff.

Thnkas so much for the info. I will look into those definately.

Yes Indian Larry was killed during a motorcycle stunt. Easyriders Centerfold Tour had one of his last bikes built. They will bring it around the country for all of us to enjoy. Never to be sold.
It was amazing to spend a week around the memorial tribute they had set up while in Daytona. I was sitting back drawing the bike and as people passed through the display it was amazing to hear peoples conversations about the man and his death. It truely is amazing how one man has touched so many people not only with his creative building but his nature of character. For one person to have an impact like that on so many people I think is amazing.

This may be a little 'out there', but have you talked to anyone from GM, Ford or Chrysler? Between prototypes used at new car shows (like the one in New York right now), and specialized cars they use for in house hot rods they commission for SEMA and other purposes, I would think they would be a good source of revenue. I've seen some crazy stuff come out from these guys for different shows.

After seeing the website, I'll send an e-mail to you over the summer. I have a new helmet that's begging to be violated .

Heck Man Id love to work with companies of that caliber. Sometimes its all about WHO you know. Talking with guys like you who are into these car shows is a start for me. What Im looking ofr is who to talk to. Who to call?
Everything has a beginning

Welcome Latisha! You really stole the show on American Chopper, your technique is simple yet brilliant. Have you done any hot rods? And.....where can a guy get one of your drawing?

Thanks and good luck with your future!!!!!!!!!
